Dreer’s Famous Asters > 
We offer seed of the finest, most carefully selected strains 
which will produce extra-large and well-developed blooms of 
choicest quality. Asters require thorough preparation of the 
soil which should be enriched with bone meal, wood ashes, and 
a little air-slaked lime. Varieties marked W-R represent the 
new wilt-resistant strains.
